Cuba Private Travel has been named to the Travel + Leisure A-List 2026, recognising our bespoke, locally rooted approach to high-end travel experiences in Cuba.

Cuba Private Travel Selected for the Travel + Leisure A-List 2026

We’re proud to share that Cuba Private Travel has been selected for the Travel + Leisure A-List 2026, an independently curated selection of the world’s most trusted and respected travel specialists.

For our team, this recognition reflects years of on-the-ground work in Cuba — building meaningful local partnerships, designing highly personalised journeys, and delivering seamless travel experiences for discerning travellers and international travel advisors alike.

What is the Travel + Leisure A-List 2026?

The Travel + Leisure A-List is a globally recognised annual guide highlighting leading travel advisors and destination experts. Inclusion is based on industry reputation, peer recommendations, and a demonstrated ability to design thoughtful, responsible and high-quality journeys.

This places Cuba Private Travel among a small group of trusted destination specialists worldwide.

What this means for our Clients and Travel Advisors Partners

Being named to the A-List reinforces what they can expect when working with CPT:

  • A trusted, Havana-based DMC with proven delivery

  • Thoughtfully designed itineraries across Havana, Viñales and beyond

  • Access to authentic cultural encounters and refined private experiences

  • Reliable operational support in a dynamic destination

    Whether travelling privately or partnering with us as a travel advisor, our clients benefit from a team that combines local depth with international service standards.

Cuba Today: Realities, Resilience, and Opportunity

Cuba continues to navigate a complex operating environment, with periodic infrastructure challenges and resource constraints. These realities are part of the context in which we work every day. At the same time, the resilience, creativity and professionalism of our local partners remain remarkable.

For our travellers and advisor partners, this means journeys that are:

  • Thoughtfully planned with contingencies in place

  • Supported by trusted local suppliers with alternative power and logistics solutions

  • Designed to remain smooth, comfortable and enriching despite the broader context

    Cuba today remains deeply rewarding for those who approach it with curiosity and openness. In many ways, travel has become even more meaningful — offering genuine connection, supporting local livelihoods, and experiencing the island at a more human pace.

A Thank you to our Local Partners

This recognition belongs to the wider CPT network across Cuba — our guides, drivers, hosts, chefs, artists and community partners. Their commitment and adaptability are at the heart of every journey we design.
